I remain unconvinced that ...Thanks for this, Karen. I remain unconvinced that there is a biblical argument that women need to put home first any more than men need to put home first. Of course, for married people, spouses must be a very high priority and for parents, children must be a very high priority. But I simply do not see that this is more the case for women than for men and the arguments I see evangelicals making for this are often incredibly tenuous, relying on descriptive rather than prescriptive passages of Scripture. It seems to me the responsibility of parents to work out together what will allow them to best care for each other and their children, minister to their community and serve their church. So this is not controversial to me at all!<br />And also - congratulations on your pregnancy! Sounds like a complicated time for you, but I hope you have a growing sense of peace and joy about it.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10923073692315462946noreply@blogger.com
